God Emperor - Chapter 1416
Chapter 1416: Ning True Saint Dew
“I won’t fight. No time.”
Zhang Ruochen spoke indifferently before rushing forward. He used a physical technique, preparing to return to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land and continue cultivating in isolation.
“You’re not allowed to leave. You must battle with me and get a clear result.”
Bu Ji’s body arched. All his meridians and Saintly Meridians were pulled taut like a huge bow. Then there was a huge boom like the twang of a bowstring.
The next moment, Bu Ji’s body shot toward Zhang Ruochen like an arrow.
A different look appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face. He stepped down and quickly retreated, avoiding Bu Ji’s crash.
“Your speed is even faster than an Absolute Saint,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“You’re not slow either.”
Bu Ji was extremely fast, but he was comfortable and steadied himself in an instant. “You’re at the beginning of the Heaven Pass Realm, so I won’t bully you. I’ll restrict my cultivation to that realm as well. How about that?”
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t fought with Bu Ji officially yet, but he still knew that the man was a powerful figure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to make Zhang Ruochen retreat.
“Since you want to fight, then I’ll fight with you once,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Don’t restrict yourself. Go all out!”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to take one hit if I go all out.”
Bu Ji kept to his word and directly pushed his cultivation down, controlling it at the beginning of the Heaven Pass Realm.
Whoosh!
The 144 saintified apertures on Bu Ji’s body all opened up. It was like 144 stars embedded in his body.
“Your physical body is a Saint,” Zhang Ruochen uttered.
Bu Ji clenched his hands into fists and unleashed extreme speed. He flew over to Zhang Ruochen like a golden tornado.
A huge golden fist print formed in the tornado.
Though the other was coming powerfully, Zhang Ruochen didn’t move from his spot. He waited until the golden fist print was about to hit him before attacking quickly, punching forward.
Boom.
All the fist force was shattered.
Bu Ji’s burly body flew backward. He didn’t land until he had flown dozens of feet away. He stumbled back and almost fell down.
Zhang Ruochen stood peacefully in place. He sent out an overwhelming wave of palm prints. Not even a strand of hair flew up.
Supreme Saints Manjian and Jiuling watched their fight from inside the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion. Seeing this kind of result, they exchanged glances and smiled.
Su Qingling was a bit shocked. Biting her lip, she said, “With Bu Ji’s abilities, he can’t even take a hit from him in the same realm. Wow. He’s much stronger than I’d imagined.”
…
“Can I leave now?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bu Ji squeezed his pained fingers. He clearly knew that he wasn’t a match for the Supreme Complete Body Constitution in the same realm. “Let’s fight again when I restrict my cultivation to the middle stage of the Heaven Pass Realm!” he yelled.
“I’m seriously busy,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I don’t have time to play with you.”
If they fought a round in the beginning stage…
And then in the middle stage…
How many rounds did they have to fight?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to be someone’s training partner. He decided to leave.
“Wait.”
Bu Ji stopped Zhang Ruochen again. Revealing two rows of white teeth, he smiled and said, “You just reached the Heaven Pass Realm, right? You must need the Ning True Saint Dew, right?”
“Ning True Saint Dew?”
Bu Ji knew that Zhang Ruochen knew little about the Heaven Pass Realm. Thus, he took out a bottle made of saint jade and held it in his palm.
Bone-chilling icy Qi seeped out of the bottle.
“Cultivators in the Heaven Pass Realm must continue to condense the Rules of Saintly Way to make the rules become tangible and reach the True Saint Realm. The Ning True Saint Dew is a treasure that can help Heaven Pass Saints do that.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the bottle and murmured, “I see.”
Kunlun’s Field didn’t have the Ning True Saint Dew at all. A Heaven Pass Saint had to take a long time to condense the rules one by one before reaching the True Saint Realm.
This was why even top talents like Wan Zhaoyi, Qing Xiao, and Pei Yutian had to cultivate in the Heaven Pass Realm for a long while before reaching the True Saint Realm.
Many more Heaven Pass Saints would die from old age before turning their Rules of Saintly Way tangible. They’d never be able to reach the True Saint Realm.
This was also why a True Saint was already a top figure in Kunlun’s Field. They could be Saint Leaders of a middle-age clan.
Heaven World had a treasure like the Ning True Saint Dew. It could help Heaven Pass Saints save a lot of time and produce many more True Saints.
Bu Ji saw that Zhang Ruochen was interested in the dew, so he continued, “In the Red Dragon Saint Territory, you need to spend 1,000 saint stones to buy a drop. Plus, if you want to buy it, you also need a certain amount of merits.
“Saints with 10,000 merits can only buy ten drops of Ning True Saint Dew.
“Saints with 100,000 merits can only buy 100 drops.
“This bottle contains 100 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. If you win one round, I’ll give you ten drops. How about that?”
In the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion, Su Qingling fluttered her lashes and smiled. “That big dumb guy actually has smart moments. Not bad. There’s a good show to watch again.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have any merits now. He couldn’t buy the dew even if he had saint stones. If he could win some from Bu Ji, it seemed to be a good thing.
“How many drops of Ning True Saint Dew do you need to go from the beginning of the Heaven Pass Realm to the True Saint Realm?” he asked.
Bu Ji really wanted to continue fighting with him, so he said patiently, “You need at least 100 drops to go from the beginning to the middle stage. From the middle to the end, you need around 300 drops. From the end to the pinnacle, you’ll need around 600 drops. From the pinnacle to the True Saint Realm, you’ll need 1,000 drops. In total, you’ll need around 2,000 drops to reach the True Saint Realm.
“Of course, using the Ning True Saint Dew can only increase your cultivation speed. Whether you can reach the True Saint Realm or not still depends on your comprehension. In other words, it’s not easy to reach the True Saint Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment. “Okay, give me ten drops first.”
“Why?” Bu Ji asked.
“You just lost to me earlier,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Oh…I guess.”
Bu Ji furrowed his brows. He thought for a moment and still opened the saint jade bottle. He pressed a hand onto the opening and tossed it up. Instantly, ten specks of light flew out of the bottle.
Each speck of light contained enormous Saintly Way auras and a mesmerizing fragrance.
Zhang Ruochen caught the ten drops. He took one drop out and used his Spiritual Power to check it. Then he put it into his mouth.
When the dew entered his body, it immediately transformed into an icy current. It poured into his Sea of Qi and Heaven Pass River.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen quickly used a technique to condense the Rules of Saintly Way in the Heaven Pass River.
A moment later, the dew was completely absorbed. Some of the Rules of Saintly Way indeed became more solid.
With the effect of the Ning True Saint Dew, I’ll probably need around 500 drops to reach the middle stage, Zhang Ruochen thought.
It wasn’t that Bu Ji had exaggerated the dew’s effect. Instead, it was because Zhang Ruochen had too many Rules of Saintly Way within him. Naturally, he would need more drops of dew than the others, even ten times more.
A regular Saint only had 20 or 30 Rules of Saintly Way.
The Saints at the level of the nine Heirs could comprehend around 100 Rules of Saintly Way.
But Zhang Ruochen had more than 300 rules. This also included time and space, two of the Nine Ancient Ways. This way, he would need more Ning True Saint Dew than other Saints to make them all tangible.
“It really can improve cultivation speed.”
After saying that, Zhang Ruochen swallowed the remaining nine drops. He glanced at Bu Ji and said, “Let’s fight! Ten drops for each round I win.”
“You’re going to refine the drops while fighting me?” Bu Ji asked.
“Indeed.”
Two balls of fire appeared in Bu Ji’s eyes. “You’ll pay if you dare underestimate me!” he roared.
He restricted his cultivation to the middle of the Heaven Pass Realm and attacked.
A moment later, Bu Ji flew back again, falling heavily on the ground.
“I will restrict my cultivation to the later stage and fight again.”
Bu Ji wasn’t satisfied. He climbed up and circulated his Holy Qi. A golden divine lion appeared. It became one with his body. Roaring, it charged at Zhang Ruochen.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen used the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm and sent him flying again.
“I will restrict my cultivation to the pinnacle of the Heaven Pass Realm. Fight, fight, fight.”
Bu Ji yelled three times. He activated his power to the extreme. The divine lion image became more solid. The light that it shone with turned the entire Red Dragon Saint Territory golden.
Roar!
The lion’s roar even shook the pavilions.
This time, even Zhang Ruochen had to take Bu Ji seriously. His eyes hardened slightly. He actually felt the power of a Beast Emperor on Bu Ji’s body.
“That is…a Beast Emperor’s saint soul?”
Surprise appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
Bu Ji’s teeth grew extremely sharp. “Supreme Saint Golden Lion was about to die when fighting with a strong enemy of Hell World. He gave the remnant of his soul to me, giving me his heritage. So I must win this round. For his dignity, I can’t lose. I don’t believe that I can’t beat you, an early-stage Heaven Pass Saint, with my cultivation in the pinnacle.”
Fighting with Hell World was extremely cruel.
Each year, many strong figures from Heaven World would die. But they could leave their heritage behind.
Whoever received their heritage would receive an extremely large amount of power. Not only would they cultivate more quickly, their future path would also be smoother.
Bu Ji received Supreme Saint Golden Lion’s heritage. His body also had the Supreme Saint’s soul. He couldn’t unleash the soul’s full power with his current cultivation, but his combat abilities still reached a terrifying level.
“Emperor Lion’s Power.”
Bu Ji’s hands transformed into two golden lion claws. Terrifying Beast Emperor Qi poured crazily out of his palms, crashing down on Zhang Ruochen.
The space was instantly shrouded by the emperor lion’s aggressive Qi.
